My Lifetime Wish If I could have a wish, A dream that would come true, I'd pray to God with all my heart for yesterday and you. A thousand words can't bring you back, I know because I've tried. And neither will a million tears, I know because I've cried. You left behind my broken heart, And happy memories too. But, I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.
